Tara Relief Sculptures for The Maitreya Project REFUGEE 8.11.04 Dedicated to Tara Tara is called both "Mother of all the Buddhas" and "Liberator". She is one of the most beloved of Buddhist deities and is the female aspect of Avelokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. I was given the name Gyalten Drolma by Venerable Choden Rinpoche at Land of Medicine Buddha. As I understand, Gyalten means Victory Banner and Drolma is another name for Tara. Lossely translated this name means "the victory of Buddha's teachings through the bodhisattva Tara." Tara's mantra is OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA
om tare tutare ture soha
who was she nothing was exactly as she thought all was changing day by day inch by inch give her a pinch was anything real how does that feel
om tare tutare ture soha
when Buddha spoke fire and smoke through it shone the sun that was fun prism light laser beam into each and every heart he taught her to be smart
om tare tutare ture soha
it made her choke each heart was broke down fell a tear he made it clear why she was here karma illusion cause and effect we seem to get what we expect
om tare tutare ture soha
yet the question remained who was she flying here and there she'd come to help and care a smile could change a person's day could save them in a pinch it was a cinch
om tare tutare ture soha
bringing peace joy delight she had come to be rejoice a refugee nowhere to go nothing to do all her dreams were coming true heard her say there's only this day anyway hello it’s me a singing dancing refugee
om tare tutare ture soha
into bodhichitta I hope to some day meet ya half way round the moon in some happy space we’ll all share a tune into forever all afternoon how wondrous to simply say I choose to play and find ways of being kind sweet you see because she’s me
om tare tutare ture soha
